Default Got my 642 set up the way I wanted

Colins Craft "Lip Grips"
Raven Vanguard

This thing carries so comfortably, you almost don't even notice it's there! I tuck it in my waistband at about the 3:00 position, and secure it with a Wilderness belt. It doesn't move at all throughout the day. And talk about no printing! I'm in looooove! I only wish it had the capacity & quick reloads of my G26.

Very interesting. Could you show some images with in on? Easy to draw? Any more info on the grips and the trigger guard would be appreciated. Thanks for sharing!

Will try to get some images tonight of me wearing it. It is actually very easy to draw. Just a little rougher than drawing from an actual holster, but I have had no problems.

I don't think I've ever seen that slot thing at the top of the right grip before. Is that to hook on the waistband/belt?

Nice looking set up. I like the look of the grips on the revolver. Now, Since the slot in the grip is to hook onto the belt or waistband, then do you tie off the trigger guard to the belt loop? Where do you carry at, 3, 4, 6 o'clock? Pictures of how you carry would answer a lot of questions for everyone, and we all will learn from your method of carry! Thanks!

Dude, that is sweet. What a nice setup! I've never seen anything like it. Simplistic, safe, and effective. I like it.

My sentiments exactly. The setup is both clever and elegant.
